In the drawings, Figure 1 is an isometric view of, a safe-door before it-is filled and with the inner plate or covering removed; Fig. 2 is a view of a completed door; and Fig. 3 isa ntion of .the.. door. occupied v. by By my construction and the use of the housrepresents the casing or liousin g1, adapted to-fit closely about the bolt-work-aud protect it from the filling.

Heretot'ore in the constructionof "safe and vault doors a partition has usually been placed separating that portion of the door in which is placed the bolt-work from the other portion, and consequently no filling is used in that porthe bolt-work.

in g F filling may extend to the remotest portions of the door,

When safes have been exposed to intense heat the bolt-work has been very materially damaged by its exposure The object of my invention is to protect this bolt-work as much as any other portion of the safe from'heat.
